A: 5NN is double Pigment for grey coverage. It is NOT lighter than 5N. They are the same level but NN may appear slightly darker because of the extra pigment.
Double naturals (the NN in the shade number) tend to look darker than the level expected because of the cooler tones in them absorbing more light.
For best gray coverage, use NN (Intense Neutral). NN shades are extra pigment packed to eliminate the most resistant grays.

Q: what is the differenbetween 7nn and 8 nn
A: 8nn is lighter.
4NN Intense Medium Brown Permanent Liquid Hair Color.
The difference between a neutral color (N) and a “double N” color (NN) is the concentration of the dye. 4N and 4NN are the same color only the NN version has a slightly higher concentration of dye. Another way to describe NN is an opaque version of N. Here's how you can change any neutral from N to NN.
A: According to a rep at Clairol, "5 Medium Brown is a neutral shade while 5N is also neutral, but contains more yellow. 5N is designed to help with gray coverage more as that yellow fills in needed pigment."

Natural. Natural tones (N) are neutral in color, which means they contain a balance of warm and cool tones. They are best for covering gray hair. PRO-TIP: N is best for covering gray hair and giving a natural-looking result. Since gray hairs have lost their natural pigment, they soak up dyes more readily.

A: 5NN is double Pigment for grey coverage. It is NOT lighter than 5N.
5NN Light Intense Brown Permanent Creme Hair Color.
Ash hair colours are on the cool side of the spectrum, meaning it is particularly flattering on those with a cool-toned complexion. The blue/purple pigments in ash blonde and ash brown hair colour are great for counter-balancing any redness in the skin, turning ruddy cheeks into a light rosy blush.
Hair color levels are measured on a scale of depth. By mixing equal parts of a darker shade (3N) and a lighter shade (6N), the result averages out to a medium tone (5N), keeping the neutral balance intact.
Sometimes even the addition of an N-Shade doesn't provide sufficient coverage of white hair. White or gray hair tends to be very resistant. It still shines through because it's less covered. In these cases a special NN series is required for sufficient coverage and reliable results.
A: The NN definitely covers gray better. It is the same shade, but may be a little less translucent due to the better coverage.
On its own the 2N looks like any other black shade but put it next to the 1N Ebony Black and you'll see that is instead a very, very dark brown – ideal if you're looking for a colour that isn't quite a true black, but also not as brown as the 3N Dark Chestnut Brown.
